Could be to do with the screen saver - it fades the X gui out before it
starts the screen saver ?
Could be that it's sensing low battery power and trying to save power ?
Could be that during boot up ntpd resets the time forward, and the
screen saver noitices there has been no activity for X minutes and
starts the fade out.
